Who wins on what

Ranked by what users actually praise

Overall Impression

Picture quality is the B7's standout strength, especially for movies and dark rooms. Commenters repeatedly praise the infinite contrast and deep black levels, saying it's like watching movies in a theater. Dolby Vision and Atmos support add to the premium feel, and even long-term owners after five years call the picture beautiful with no burn-in when settings are kept in the mid-range. However, some find OLEDs too dark or dim, especially compared to backlit LCD/QLED sets in bright environments.

Gaming performance is generally strong but not flawless. Users highlight low input lag around 20-21ms as a major upgrade from older LED TVs, making console gaming noticeably more responsive. However, some C7/B7 owners report judder on sub-60fps content, a dim HDR game mode lacking punch, and confusion getting a PS4 Pro to output a true 60fps. The lack of HDMI 2.1 also means it can't support 4K120 from newer consoles like PS5 or Xbox Series X.

Longevity and burn-in risk remain the most contentious topic among owners. Several long-term users report 5+ years of heavy use, including gaming, with zero burn-in when brightness and contrast are kept moderate. But others describe image retention from static menus, permanent 'jail bars,' or panel replacements needed after just 15 months, sometimes recurring on the replacement panel. LG's after-sales support is described as inconsistent, ranging from free screen swaps to disputed exchange agreements.
